contribute to the direct education of nurses who will positively impact the delivery of high quality patient care and patient safety...It is
neither technology nor bricks and mortar that prepare a nurse to oversee patient care and patient safety; it is the teacher who inspires the
student to achieve excellence... ... The intent [by endowing this chair is to [provide resources for TWU College of Nursing Dallas] to
attract a nationally recognized leader in nursing education...The Endowed Chair in Nursing for Teaching Excellence recipient will convene
TWU nursing faculty and experts from the field biennially in Dallas for the purpose of promoting leadership in nursing education focused on
